Smartwatch comprising a visual animation screen

Abstract

A smartwatch including a first screen cooperating with a first display management device of said smartwatch contributing to broadcasting information pertaining to functions provided by the smartwatch and a second screen that is separate from the first screen cooperating with a second display management device of the smartwatch contributing to broadcasting information concerning all or part of a visual message pertaining to a visual and/or audio animation occurring within an environment wherein the smartwatch is located, the information being transmitted from a display control server controlling the second display management device of the smartwatch.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A smartwatch, comprising:
 a first screen; 
 a second screen that is located away from and separate from the first screen; and 
 processing circuitry arranged in a case of the smartwatch, the processing circuitry including:
 a first controller configured to cause the first screen to display first information pertaining to functions provided by said smartwatch, 
 and 
 a second controller configured to independently control the second screen by sending second information to the second screen to cause the second screen to display the second information, including a visual message pertaining to at least one of a visual and audio animation occurring within an environment in which said smartwatch is located, 
 said second information, including the visual message, being transmitted from a display control server to the second controller, but not to the first controller. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The smartwatch according to  claim 1 , further comprising a communication interface is connected to the second controller, wherein the communication interface is configured to exchange, with the display control server, management data for the display of the second information including the visual message. 
     
     
       3. The smartwatch according to  claim 1 , further comprising a position acquisition circuit associated with the second controller, wherein the position acquisition circuit is configured to acquire a position of the smartwatch, and configured to detect other smartwatches provided with identical second screens that are arranged in an immediate environment of the smartwatch. 
     
     
       4. The smartwatch according to  claim 3 , wherein the position acquisition circuit is further configured to implement at least one of Bluetooth™ low energy type technology and Technology of an Ultra Wide Band type. 
     
     
       5. The smartwatch according to  claim 1 , wherein the second controller is further configured to measure an orientation of the second screen. 
     
     
       6. The smartwatch according to  claim 5 , wherein the second controller is associated with one or more inertial sensors of an accelerometer, or a miniature multi-axis rate sensor, each configured to detect angular speeds and linear accelerations along a plurality of axes. 
     
     
       7. The smartwatch according to  claim 3 , wherein the second controller is connected to a communication interface and to the position acquisition circuit. 
     
     
       8. The smartwatch according to  claim 1 , further comprising an input interface communicatively coupled to the first controller. 
     
     
       9. The smartwatch according to  claim 1 , wherein the second screen is arranged in a band of the smartwatch. 
     
     
       10. A system for managing a plurality of smartwatches, the system being configured to produce a display of the visual message on a display interface collectively formed by second screens of said plurality of smartwatches, each smartwatch of said system comprising:
 a first screen; 
 a second screen that is located away from and separate from the first screen; and 
 processing circuitry arranged in a case of the smartwatch, the processing circuitry including:
 a first controller configured to cause the first screen to display first information pertaining to functions provided by said smartwatch, and 
 a second controller configured to independently control the second screen by sending second information to the second screen to cause the second screen to display the second information, including a visual message pertaining to at least one of a visual and audio animation occurring within an environment in which said smartwatch is located, 
 said second information, including the visual message, being transmitted from a display control server to the second controller, but not to the first controller.
